Pucker up fishface

She put mascara on before she went out fishing.

In a boat
On a lake
Far from shore
Away from anyone.

The water struck the side of the boat in hollow gulps.
The reel spun outward with a high, consistent whir.
The water gulped hollowly at the side of the boat.

She batted her eyes at the sun
High, high, high above.
She batted her eyes at the sun

In a boat
On a lake
Far from shore
Away from anyone.
